Another method of forcing iTunes 7 to download artwork

I like graphics (heck, who doesn't), so the addition of downloading album art to iTunes7 was right up my alley. When it worked anyway. About half the time, I couldn't get a cover to load even though I knew the album was available on the iTunes Store. It turned out the solution was just a question of "pre-loading" the album artwork.

Click on the iTunes Store icon, and navigate to the album page in question -- if you use Search, you have to make sure you select the album, so you go the specific page. After that, go back to your iTunes playlist, click on the corresponding album/song there, control-click, and select Get Album Artwork from the pop-up menu. Give it a second, and the cover art should appear.
